' Waving Apparatus, of which the following IS a specification.

The present invention pertains to a hair waving apparatus and has for its object to provide an a paratus whereby the waves produced wil be more durable and practically keep, in shape until the hair has grown enough so as to require a new waving.

The apparatus consists of the following four parts: A curler, an asbestos tube to cover up the curl, an electric heater or drier and a protector for the head to protect the seal from the heat and prevent the rest of t e hair from being burned.

To make my invention more clear the same is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which similar reference letters denote corresponding parts and in which- Figure l s ows the curler in operation, Fig. 2 shows the asbestos tube covering the curl and the rotector. in position and Fig. 3 shows the e ectric drier or heater applied over the asbestos tube. "I-The curler consists of a perforated metal tube a. I prefer to use an aluminum tube because of its being a good conductor of heat and its light weight.

b denotes the hair. A tuft of hair is first curled around the tube'wand is at its ends tied thereto as at 0, 0i. .Thereu on the curl is sprinkled with a solution 0 sodium bi borate,-borax powder and water. In addition to this solution it may be advantageous in some cases to use a few drops of acetic acid. When the curl is thus wet-ted it is put while still wet on the curler into a tube 0 of asbestos or the like material. The whole is then put into the electric drier or heater. This heater consists of a tubular receptacle 9' of porcelain or like insulating material within whichis a metal tube it referablg of aluminum, the inner surface 0 which is lined with micaor other insulating material. A wire coil 72. for the passage of an electric current comin from a suitable electric source is provi ed around the metal tube h. a

The heat created by the electric current is transmitted through the asbestos tube to the curl, drying the same.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The herein described device for waving hair, comprising a perforated metal tube constituting a curler, an asbestos tube adapted to fit over the curler with the curl thereon and an .electric drier to be applied over the asbestos tube.

2. The herein described device for waving hair, comprising a perforated metal tube constituting a curler, an'asbestos tube adapted to fit over the curler with the curl thereon, an electric drier to be applied over the fisbeistos tube anda heat protector for the ea I In testimony whereof I afix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
